The ruling party’s central command in Pelawatte has slapped an extraordinary ban on a deputy minister over an incriminating video recording.
Our distinguished politician firmly believes he is the government's gift to legal jurisprudence, though parliamentary colleagues quietly whisper that his actual legal expertise barely stretches past the cover of a law textbook.
Party bosses have officially forbidden this legal wizard from entering any top-tier luxury hotels across Colombo.
The sudden prohibition arrived after he spent several evenings lounging in five-star lobbies, holding cozy meetings with elite businessmen to quietly negotiate private deals.
Because the party leadership has explicitly banned its members from cutting under-the-table bargains, senior officials felt compelled to issue him a direct order to cease his hospitality rounds.
The entire affair unraveled after an observant bystander recorded one of the hotel lobby negotiations on video and delivered the file straight to a power broker at the Pelawatte office.
Insiders report that the unexpected exposure and subsequent ban have left the ambitious deputy minister completely disoriented and bewildered.
